Work is over.
Your mind isn't.

Try a small closing note

Choose one unfinished task that can safely wait until your next workday. Short answers are enough.

  1. What is unfinished?

    For example: the delivery email.

  2. What is my next step?

    Check the delivery date.

  3. When will I return?

    Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

If the thought returns, you can remind yourself that you have a note and a time to return. You do not have to solve it again each time.
